Trouble shooting
In the event of problems with your SidStation you can find some solutions to some common
problems in this section.
The nature of the problem Suggested solution
My SidStation does not start up at power
on. Have you checked that your power supply is
one that is compliant with the specifications in
the “Brief overview” section?
When I start up my SidStation the LCD
screen is blank but the indicator LEDs
are working. Adjust the LCD contrast with the contrast
knob on the back of the SidStation.
When I play notes on my MIDI keyboard
nothing happens. The MIDI indicator LED
indicates that data is received. Check your audio cables and routing. Try
changing sound. When the MIDI indicator
LED is blinking the SidStation should be
playing sounds.
When I play notes on my MIDI keyboard
nothing happens. The MIDI indicator LED
is never lit up. Check the MIDI base channel setting in the
System->MIDI menu. This is the only channel
that the SidStation accepts MIDI data on.
Please refer to the section “The menu
system” for more info.
Also, check your MIDI cables and routing.
The SidStation boots up fine, but crashes
immediately when I enter the patch
menu. The memory of your SidStation appears to
have become corrupted. Try resetting the
memory by accessing the System-Memory-
Reset option.
After resetting the memory there are no
patches available. This is normal. If you want the preset patches
you will have to download them from the
SidStation website and transfer them to your
SidStation.
